Head into the WTF folder and make sure to rename these folders to your relevant details:

WTF/account/YOURACCOUNTNAME - change to the name of your wow account

WTF/account/YOURACCOUNTNAME/YOURSERVER - change to the name of the server you play on

WTF/account/YOURACCOUNTNAME/YOURSERVER/CHARACTERNAME - change to the name of your character

Step 3

Now boot up WoW, before you enter the world make sure the addon "ShadowmageUI Setup" and "ShadowmageUI Core" is enabled.

Upon entering the world 2 boxes will appear, one asking you which layout you wish to use and another involved with the addon Gnosis. Dismiss the popup box about Gnosis.

Step 4

Read the Dialog box and select which layout you wish to use.

IMPORTANT: If you wish to use the healing layout, please download Grid2 (not supplied)

Your screen should reload and everything should fall into place.

Now open up Gnosis with /gnosis and select create options. Expand Gnosis (the little + in the addon list) and go to "Configurations". Once there select "Standard" and press all the buttons that say "Load..." (dont hit Update or Remove).

NOTE: You may have to reload your UI (/rl) again for some addons to fall into place.

------------------------------------------------

NEW! Slash Command

You can now adjust the width of the background bars behind Bartender if you choose to increase the size of Bartenders bars and keep the clean texture background! You can access this slash command with:

/shads

Switching Layout

To switch layouts, hit the role icon button under the minimap. It will then ask you which layout you wish to select.

NOTE: Grid2 is needed for the role icon to determine what layout you are in (DPS icon for when Grid2 is disabled, healer icon when it is enabled)

Updating my UI

In most occasions the only updates I throw out are those to update various addons, if this is the case then you do not need to replace your current WTF folder. But instead just extract the Interface folder. However there will be times when I add stuff or move things around, which you will need to also extract the WTF folder.

You are free to move the unit frames to your liking by typing /ui to unlock, and then again to lock.

Warning!

You're free to update any addons that may be outdated or that you wish to replace.

However, I would not recommend updating the following addons as I have personaly editted some of the lua coding or they have been edited by some one else to suit my UI and/or addons may be pulling fonts/textures from other addons:

dminfo
oUF_Qulight

Resolution

As far as resolution goes, this UI is built for a 1920x1080 widescreen, there is code in place to try and make it fit other resolutions, however I have no tested this myself so let me know how it looks and if I can I will try to improve my code to make it more reliable!

Hidden Aspects

There are 2 hidden bars from bartender, number 10 (on the far right of the screen) and number 9 (far left of the screen) which show upon mouse over.

The micomenu (the small menu which has the buttons to access character sheet, talents etc) is hidden in the bottom left hand corner.

There is a 4 button slot located in the center(ish) of the screen, this is bartender (bar number 4). I use this to add spells i wish to keep on CD so I can easily track them.

If you dont want these to be hidden, simply type /bartender. Select the appropiate bar, go to the Visibility tab, untick Fade Out (for bar4 also untick the option that makes it unclickable in the general tab).

- Updated pretty much everything
- There are still bugs to be ironed out and some missing features
- Removed Xloot for now
- Player secondary resources (combo points, arcane charges etc) on the unit frames dont work (mana, energy, rage, astral and storm work fine though)
- Friends list in diminfo does not work, requires a rewrite which I cannot do so I doubt this will ever be fixed unless the author releases an update

V 7.2.2 Updates

- Updated Aurora
- Updated Badboy
- Updated Prat

V 7.2.1 Just replace oUF_QuLight addon with the one in this build

- Updated oUF_QuLight

V 7.2 6.2.2 Updates and Various addon changes. Reinstall will be required.

As EU is not online yet, would be great if some one can let me know if something isnt working :)

V 7.0. Reinstall recommended by not required, if you dont want to do a full reinstall just make sure you move over the bartender files in WTF\Account\ACCOUNTNAME\SavedVariables\bartender4.lua to your own installation area (as well as Grid2.lua if you intend on using the healer UI)

----------------------------------------
WARNING: This is a dirty build, there will be bugs. Make sure to enable out of date addons.
FOR PATCH 6.0 ONLY
----------------------------------------

- Shortened the bartender bars to account for ability pruning
- Moved over to Grid2
- Removed Mapster for now, too buggy
- Updated pretty much every addon, most of which are quick dirty fixes from me

V 6.7.8 Replacing VuhDo with Grid

- Updated core files to work with Grid instead of VuhDo (replace AddOns folder)
- You dont have to do a full reinstall, might be worth just waiting for the 6.0 update which will probably require a reinstall. This update is just if you really want to use Grid instead of VuhDo for the healing layout.

Long way:
Grab this file: Account\ACCOUNTNAME\SavedVariables\Grid.lua (and its Grid.lua.bak)
Stick it in the same location on your WoW installation.
Dont forget to replace the AddOns folder too!
Ingame, click the Healing UI button to load/reload the healer settings

- Updated DeadlyBossMods
- Updated MiksScrollingBattleText
- Attempt to fix SexyMap, fi you're not doing a fresh install, please extract the Saved Variable for this (WTF\account\accountname\SavedVariables\Sexymap.lua) and replace them with the file in the same file path on your client

- Updated DeadlyBossMods, stops DBM related errors in BGs (i hope)
- Tweaks to oUF_QuLight. Arena frames should be fully functional, totem bar actually works now with classes other than shamans (currently working on the bars counting down as well, but for now they are there for indication purposes. examples of other class usage: wild mushrooms for druids, DK temp ghoul pet, and apparently the warlock portal spell in mop, clicking on the bars will cancel the mushroom/totem/ghoul)

V 6.392

- Updated Gnosis (fixes most of the glyphing errors)
- Update Bagnon
- Fixed Prat some more
- Added Arena Frames to oUF_QuLight (these are apparently used in WSG and Twim Peaks (maybe eots as well) for the flag carriers, need some testing and some opinions!)
- Added Xloot
- Added XlootGroup

- Removed AuraFrames
- oUF_QuLight now handles buffs/debuffs
HEALS: The aura frames will move out the way when Grid2 addon is loaded. If you dont use Grid2 for your healing frames and want the target auras out of the way, PM and i will tell you how to move them.
- Fixed the white border the bottom texture had, yay! Not sure how i fixed it :D
- KgPanels will stop trying to find TribalBase.tga
- KgPanels will now enable Grid2 when switching to the healing layout, and disable Grid2 when switching to DPS layout
- Currently there is no "fix" to get ForteXorcist to change profile. You will need to manually change it. /fx then in the top section there are 2 tabs, select your respective layout.

V 6.22

- Updated Badboy, now actually blocks recent gold spams!

V 6.21 Now with easier setup button and layout switching!

- Added a first time setup dialog (still needs the folders inside the WTF folder to be renamed correctly to work)
- Added button under minimap which will display another dialog for easy switching from one layout to another
- Adjusted dminfo clock

V 6.2

- Updated dminfo
- Updated DBM and made it pwetty (might have to change the offset values in options, not sure if those values will be stored in this UI build)

V 6.19 no need for full reinstall, just extract the 2 addons and remove SLDataText

- Fixed Repuatation Bar tracking with oUF_QuLight (Replace oUF_Qulight folder with the one in this update)
- Fixed (hopefully) unit frames being slightly out of place (need to replace the oUF_moveableframes lua files in the saved variable (which is in the WTF folder) with the one in this update)

V 6.15 Only need to replace the updated addon folders to update

- Configured oUF_QuLight to match his latest layout (see screenie)
- Changed font on everything (Replace MikScrollingBattleText folder with the one in this update)
- Changed font for damage text (Replace Ychangedafont folder with the one in this update)

- Added SimplePowerBar
- Updated DeadlyBossMods
- Updated some other stuff which I cant remember
- Removed ButtonFacade_Shadow
- Adjusted the position of the unit frame and the cast bars, see screenshots.
- New screenshots!

V 5.15 - More of an addon fix upload, SLDT doesnt show honor any more. Will look for a replacement addon later.

- Updated Quartz
- Updated Bagnon
- Updated SLDataText

V 5.1

- Some annoying folder adjustment which messed everything up!

V 5

- Poisitional changes, there is now 1 long bar for action bars at the bottom instead of 1 long and 1 short. There is a hidden bar at the top of the screen.
- Updated like all addons possible
- Removed MageNuggets so non mage people dont have to remove it
- Hopefully fixed reflux not loading profiles correctly. The new command is /reflux switch ShadsUIv5. Remember to reload UI again after!

- Updated oUF_Caellian (holy power, soul shards and solar power included. Not checked to see what they are like and are most likely out of position)
- Updated DeadlyBossMods
- Removed m_Map (caused fps drops randomly when opened, will add replacement later)
- Removed oUF_SpellRange
- Removed Xloot1.0
- Added Xloot, XlootGroup and XlootMonitor. Not tested these so they may not be well placed.
- Hopefully fixed reflux. /reflux switch ShadsUI should properly work now.
- Possibly other stuff? But i doubt it :P

V 3.35

- Forgot to update Reflux with the new layout. Try /reflux switch Shadowmage

- Removed Skada
- Added TinyDPS (for some reason the location of TinyDPS keeps reseting, cant find a fix yet)
- Repositioned debuffs
- Repositioned Omen (sits under player unit frame)
- Removed Procs1 and Procs2 frames from SBF, i now use PowerAuras but due to secretness and secrety things i cant upload the version i am using
- Updated DBM
- Err think that was it

PS Screeny will be updated later

V 2.3.5

- Fixed missing profiles in Reflux (hopefully)
- Changed oUF_Caellian raid frames to make them smaller (and to look like the older version)
- Moved some elements to match new raid frame locations (Magenuggets and TipTac)

V 2.3

- Added Reflux. Ingame use /reflux switch Shadowmage. This should switch all addons to my profile. If this doesnt work, go into each addon and under the profiles section select either "Shadowmage" or "default".

Been using your UI for awhile, version 5.8. However, I haven't been able to move on to the latest version because of kgpanels problems. I don't use your monitor sizing, so i always have to adjust all the panels. But after version 5.8, I can't get the panels to move at all. The blue overlay that shows the panel is unlocked and moving does what it's supposed to, but the panel itself actually doesn't move at all. Just stays put. Even after a reload UI. I've deleted my Cache and WTF, this is a clean install.

Any ideas?

ah yes, when i uploaded 5.9 i made kgpanels one big image to make life easier for me. but i have left the old ones ingame still,

/kgpanels config

under active panels, go to Base and Top and turn the opacity to 0%, then go to each line, bar etc and turn their opacities to 100%

Hey Sockzor!
First of all:
I´m a true fan of your UI since a long time now and i always played with the Version 5.8 I think.
Now I did a complete fresh install ´cause I was scared of doing all the little thingies to the UI to fit perfect to my playstyle but I did it.
I have to installations of WoW on my pc because i dont want to switch all the things when I´m healing or dps´ing.

That´s the point where I found out that the panels with the dps command look different to the panels activated by the heal command.

the panels i like and want to have while dps´ing are all a way of look through glas but I got them.

Absolutely love your UI.
Everything about it awesome, but I have 2 questions.
1) Skada randomly disappears, and won't reappear unless I change the profile on skada, any idea how to fix that? (I've played around with it but haven't figured out what is causing it)
2) Is there any way to see the Target of target's debuffs? I do tank occasionally, and it would make it easier to taunt on x stacks.

Much appreciated, and thanks again for the awesome UI

1. i've had this a few times as well. i believe its because the combat log stops recieving data when it hsould do so skada hides itself. reloading ui should help (/reload) you can also force skada to show with /skada toggle

2. i use to have this in one of my older builds but always found it a bit buggy. but you can set one up in auraframes (/ar) by creating a new container and setting the source as target of target (in advance options). i'll also create one and test it to see if its still buggy, if not i'll add it to my next upload
